摘要

A controlled experiment was conducted under laboratory conditions where the neonates of H. armigera were fed till pupation on different hosts, i.e. tomato, bhendi [okra], chickpea, maize and chickpea-based artificial diet. A set of pupae was collected from a nearby bhendi field along with fruit samples from the same field. In another experiment, insects were reared on bhendi till the end of the second instar and subsequently shifted to chickpea-based artificial diet till pupation. The C isotope differed significantly among the several host plant species with maize, a C4 species, having the lowest C isotope. Among the C3 host species, bhendi had the lowest C isotope compared to others. A significant positive relationship between pupal C isotope and host plant C isotope was noticed, suggesting that the insects acquire isotopic signatures from what they feed on. To more conclusively assess this effect, H. armigera larvae were fed on bhendi up to the end of second instar and then shifted to a chickpea-based diet till pupation with agar as one of the important components. The C isotope of the pupae was intermediate between that of bhendi and the diet. Further, the C isotope of the pupae of H. armigera collected from a bhendi was determined vis-a-vis host plant samples. The insect C isotope closely matched that of the host plant, reiterating that the C isotope signatures indicate the feeding habits of insects. The results suggest that the C isotope signature of the insect accurately reflects the host organic C source and thus would provide vital clues on host plant on which the moth has fed as a larva..
